Escape to the Chateau's Dick and Angel Strawbridge prepare for UK return

Escape To The Chateau 's Dick and Angel Strawbridge are preparing to leave their fairytale home in France to return to the UK.

The couple and their children are preparing to tour the country sharing their renovation stories of their 45 bedroom Château de la Motte-Husson.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Dick, 62, is set to tell fans of the show exactly how they fulfilled their dreams by setting up camp in Martigné-sur-Mayenne.

He will be joined by his entrepreneur and designer wife Angel, who is known for sharing her creative arts and craft ideas with viewers.

The official Escape To The Chateau Instagram page shared a photo of the family with the caption: "We can hardly believe it but in just a few weeks time Dick Angel Arthur & Dorothy will be on the road ready for their Dare To Do It Tour!

"Dorothy has organised all of her outfits and the excitement levels in the Strawbridge house are through the roof!

"Have you grabbed your seat for the evening, where will you be seeing the Strawbridges?"

Their tour with their two children Dorothy, eight and Arthur, nine, will cover the length and breadth of the country and will see them stop in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, and Belfast.

The stunning property is nestled in the commune of Martigné-sur-Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire region of north-west France and has stood for 40 years with no electricity, heating or running water.

They have worked tirelessly on renovating the dilapidated 19th-century chateau, which has its own moat, since 2015.

Angel's parents also got in on the action and have their own outhouse built on the 12 acres of land.

They make additional income from hiring their orangery out as a stunning wedding venue where they specialise in vintage weddings.

It was actually where Dick and Angel's own wedding took place during series one.

The pair, who have a 19-year age gap, met at an event that Dick put on for one of his pop-up restaurants.

The pair had the same TV agent and it was reportedly "love at first sight".

Three years after they met, they had their son Arthur and then Dorothy came along not long after.
